以下是引用seasnow在2006-2-6 9:40:00的发言:39. According to scholars, the earliest writing was probable not a direct rendering of speech, but was more likely to begin as a separate and distinct symbolic system of communication, and only later merged with spoken language. (A) was more likely to begin as (B) more than likely began as (C) more than likely beginning from (D) it was more than likely begun from (E) it was more likely that it began 为什么不是选A?不是be likely to do sth.嘛?
书上这么说的:
A. In this context, more likely is not a complete idiomatic expression; was...to begin is not parallel to was and merged.
B. Correct. "in this sentence, more than likely is the correct compararive constrction; the simple past tense began, parallel to was and merged, fits grammatically into the sentence." |
